   AMD Zen 6 EPYC Venice Deep Dive and Benchmarks

   Tom’s Hardware examined the Zen 6 architecture and tested AMD’s 256-core EPYC 9996 and 96-core EPYC 9686F on the SP7 platform. The report says Zen 6 introduces native FP16 instructions, while its two-IOD design gives SP7 access to 16 memory channels. In a two-socket configuration, the EPYC 9996 delivered 1,024 threads and scored 93% ahead of the 768-thread EPYC 9965 in the report’s SPEC CPU 2026 intrate throughput estimate. The frequency-optimized 9686F performed strongly in scientific-computing and HPC workloads. The SPEC results were not submitted to the SPEC committee and therefore remain estimates.
